Abstract
Purpose
Verruciform xanthoma (VX) is a rare, chronic, and benign lesion affecting the skin and mucous membranes. We reported a case of VX in the vulva of a female child.
Patients and Methods
A 12-year-old female had vulvar lesions for over 10 years without any discomfort. Physical examination revealed red lobulated patches on the left labia majora with a few scales attached to the surface. Histopathological examination indicated excessive and incomplete keratinization, hypertrophic spinous layer hyperplasia, neutrophil infiltration in the epidermis, and foam-like tissue could be seen in the dermal papilla. Lymphocyte-dominated inflammatory cell infiltration was scattered around the blood vessels. Immunohistochemical results showed positive CD68.
Results
The final diagnosis confirmed the presence of VX.
Conclusion
Surgical intervention proved successful in achieving favorable outcomes for the patient.
